A young calf performing a back flip in
Maalaea Bay, Maui. Spectacular behaviors such as these
(known as breaching) can easily be seen from the shores of
all the main Hawaiian Islands. Shoreline whale watching is
recommended over boat tours since it has less of an impact
on the humpback whale and its environment. Whale watching
regulations makes it unlawful to approach a whale closer
than 100 yards. (photo: Dave Glickman)
